Although I don't know why Granny Qin proposed the rule that you can't light candles at night, Xu Huaigu still did it tonight, after all, when you come to someone else's house, you still have to be respectful.

Yu Qin was still a little frightened by Granny Qin's strange words before, and she didn't dare to sleep much all night. She slept on another bed in the same room as Xu Huaigu, and kept chatting with Xu Huaigu without words to ease the fear in her heart.

Xu Huaigu also happened to take advantage of the rare clean time at night to think about what he planned to do in Xingqing.

First, he was going to the imperial palace in Xingqing City, and it was best to meet Emperor Lin Hongzhi directly. Although it is indeed a bit difficult to stretch his face when he reaches out to ask for money, Xu Huaigu now feels that his face is getting thicker and thicker. And presumably, for the emperor of a country, a little money is nothing.

Second, he also has to be careful of the people of the Xu family. Last time, I gave Xu Guonan a sword at the ferry, and I don't know if that guy has a chance to seek revenge. But no matter whether the Xu family will come to the door or not, he must be prepared for the worst, and it is always not wrong to be cautious.

For the rest, he doesn't have any more goals for the time being. However, in addition to these two basic tasks, he also wanted to visit Xingqing and see more of the city that was about to disappear.

He was also wondering if he could find some auxiliary treasures such as the Immortal Family's Pill Talisman in Xingqing City. After all, Xingqing is a big city, and there should be a lot of monks, and there will be corresponding trading places.

As a monk, he hadn't owned any elixir talismans until now, and it was indeed a bit unreasonable. And that day, since he saw the old man surnamed Han of the Xu family using the talisman to restore his aura, he forced Xu Huaigu to be in danger, which also made Xu Huaigu, who had always been a little disapproving of the talisman, a little jealous.

Of course, he didn't forget Yu Qin's practice. It's important to find a way to practice so that Yu Qin can practice as well. How much difference the strength of mortals is compared to that of monks, Xu Huaigu himself, as a monk, is very clear. What's more, he had also seen the abilities of the immortals of the Nine Realms and Ten Realms, so he was even more fascinated.

Xu Huaigu wants Yu Qin to live her best life.

In the final analysis, Xu Huaigu likes Yu Qin very much, but he likes it, and he feels that he cherishes Yu Qin's kindness and kindness.

As for the swords that Yu Qin held Xu Huaigu's sword that day, and the swords on the officer and soldier who was in a different place, Xu Huaigu still didn't figure it out. People's hearts are really complex things, full of contradictions, and Xu Huaigu can't see through whether there are really other things hidden behind Yu Qin's kindness.

It's like even a Taoist priest can't see through Li Zi's heart.

But that doesn't stop him from liking Yu Qin.

Xu Huaigu was thinking about these things, and Yu Qin's somewhat timid voice came: "Xu Huaigu, have you slept?" ”

Xu Huaigu felt funny in his heart and said, "I haven't slept yet." ”

Yu Qin shrank and said, "I always feel that something is rustling outside, is there a ghost?" ”

Xu Huaigu listened carefully, but only heard the slight movement of the wind blowing through the weeds.

He persuaded: "It's the rumors, there are no ghosts, it's not too early, hurry up and go to sleep." ”

Yu Qin was silent for a while, and then asked, "You say that I am so useless, even afraid of ghosts, can I still help my father avenge?" ”

Xu Huaigu thought of Yu An, and his heart was not good. He said, "Yes." The days are still long, and we will take revenge one day. ”

Yu Qin retracted her head into the quilt, and secretly glanced at the beautiful bag that Yu An gave her at the last moment in her hand, and was full of thoughts.

She clenched tightly, and secretly made up her mind in her heart: one day, she would definitely kill that Qi Wen.

……

The next day, Xu Huaigu walked upriver along a small canal in front of Granny Qin's house towards the mansion of the imperial family and magnates to the north.

Along the way, he could clearly feel the prosperity of Xingqing City. Just in the morning, the sun had just risen, and a long street was already bustling with people. Some people carry flat shoulders to sell wontons and pancakes and other kinds of food on the street, others gather around to watch the street juggling, and occasionally you can see richly dressed children riding tall horses, shuttling through the crowd, causing a commotion wherever they go.

A peaceful scene.

According to what Pingcui said casually yesterday, Xingqing City is recently having an early summer festival called the "Lingering Garden Festival", which is festive. Xu Huaigu secretly figured out that the fireworks he saw at the ferry that day should also be set off to celebrate this festival.

Originally, Xu Huaigu didn't have a big idea about Molong, he just wanted to protect the people he liked, but now he suddenly felt that there were so many good places like Xingqing City in the world, and it would be a pity if they were destroyed like this.

But he couldn't change anything, so he didn't think about changing it.

After asking a few people for directions, he quickly figured out the location of the princess's mansion and headed in that direction.

Lin Hongzhi, the emperor of Dayu Kingdom, had a total of four princesses, two of whom were born to him, and the remaining two were the daughters of two high-ranking princes. Among the four princesses, the highest status is Princess Cangyang, who had a meeting with Xu Huaigu last time, she is Lin Hongzhi's biological eldest daughter, and he came to the princess's mansion to see her this time.

Although Xu Huaigu wanted to see Emperor Lin Hongzhi more, he also knew how difficult it was to see the emperor in his current capacity. The king of a country is naturally a good opportunity, if it is really anyone who can see it, then it is worth it?

So he had to come to Princess Cangyang, who was relatively easy to find, first, and by the way, find out what the situation of Dayu Guo was in recently, and if he could, ask her to introduce him to Lin Hongzhi.

In fact, Xu Huaigu came to see Princess Cangyang this time, and his heart was also very bottomless. After all, Princess Cangyang is also a princess, with a high status, and she is also concerned by many people. Wanting to meet a strange man is always bad for reputation, so Xu Huaigu is really not sure if he can meet her.

But after all, you still have to try.

The mansion of the princess's mansion is located in the west of the north of Xingqing City, just very close to the Guangrao Mountain on the side, the scenery is also relatively beautiful, and the environment is even more pleasant. Along the way, the pavilion buildings that Xu Huaigu saw became taller and more prosperous, and there were fewer and fewer people, but the clothes were becoming more and more gorgeous.

This northwest area is not as lively as the streets of Xingqing City, and it looks very deserted, but the security force has been strengthened a lot.

Along the way, Xu Huaigu saw many guards wearing iron armor and holding spears and knives. After those guards saw Xu Huaigu, they all looked at him seriously, after all, Xu Huaigu's clothes really didn't match the beauty of the people around him, but fortunately, Xu Huaigu looked quite good, otherwise he would have to wonder if those guards would take him down directly without saying anything.

When I arrived at the gate of the princess's mansion, a huge vermilion lacquer gate stood horizontally in front of me, with two huge stone lions on both sides. One raised its front paws as if to pounce out, while the other held its head high, its mane fluttering in the wind.

There is a plaque hanging on the top of the princess's mansion, and there are three big characters "Cangyang Mansion" written on it, which is quite imposing, and there is already a strong calligraphy charm of everyone, which is much better than the "mountains and waters" that Xu Huaigu saw in the west of Huanghu that day.

This character is either written by a monk who is proficient in kendo, or it is really written by a calligrapher in the world, no matter which one shows the strength and majesty of the princess's mansion.

There were two spear-wielding guards on either side of the gate, and they had been staring at Xu Huaigu since he came.

Xu Huaigu had a request, so he could only pull down his face and step forward to talk to one of the guards: "This big brother, can you help me go in and talk to the princess?" I want to see the princess. ”

The guard looked at him warily and replied, "Who are you?" Does the princess know you? ”

Xu Huaigu replied: "My name is Xu Huaigu, I used to know each other, and I once had a relationship with the princess. ”

The guard was a little embarrassed and looked at the other guard, who shook his head.

So he replied, "I'm sorry, but the princess has had a lot of things to do lately and has not seen any guests. ”

Xu Huaigu glanced at the guard who shook his head suspiciously, and asked, "I haven't said what it is to come to the princess, do you know that the princess is not me?" What if the princess wants to see me? I also ask my brother to help me bring a message. ”

The guard still shook his head resolutely: "No, the princess has been very busy lately, and no one has seen her, so you better leave quickly." ”

Xu Huaigu hesitated for a moment, feeling more and more that the guard's tone was too determined, as if he was hiding something.

At this moment, a small crack opened in the vermilion lacquer door, and a woman in a green palace dress walked out of it, with an impatient face.

She said angrily: "Where did this wild boy come from, and he also wants to see the princess?" The princess has had a lot to do lately, and she has not seen anyone except those who are very close to her. What else do you watch? Why don't you hurry up?! ”

The woman in green raised her arms impatiently, and her wide-sleeved robe flew up, as if to drive him away.

Xu Huaigu's eyes flashed.

He confessed, turned and left.

The woman in the palace dress in green still complained a few words in place before walking back.

Xu Huaigu walked back to a tea shop on the side of the street not far away, asked for a small portion of local green tea soup, and began to think about the next countermeasures.

He had mixed feelings.

The good thing is that Princess Cangyang is willing to see him, and the worry is that Princess Cangyang seems to be being watched and controlled by others, and the atmosphere of the whole Xingqing royal family is not quite right.

Because he clearly saw the moment the green-clothed woman raised her sleeve robe, the small bracelet of Princess Cangyang on her wrist.

That bracelet is Princess Cangyang's belongings, how could it be in the hands of a palace maid?

Xu Huaigu felt that things were not simple.
